STOP WEARING MASKS!


Mar 3, 2021, 4:17 PM

The only way to get Clemson back to normal and reverse to assassination of downtown businesses is a public revolt. To kill a local economy because of a virus that infects less than 10% of the population and has a 99.9% survival rate is ridiculous and immoral.

Texas has only 6.5% of its population vaccinated. There is no question that without masks the Texas death rate will soar again.


I haven’t had problems in restaurants and other events where the facility followed the guidelines in S.C. Not wearing masks shows we not only don’t care about ourselves, but also the people that may be infected from those not wearing a mask.

Texas will see a rise in virus cases. They will likely not see a crush on the hospitals again because the 17% who have received atleast the first shot were the vulnerable. 3 weeks after the 1st shot those folks have a 90% plus protection against getting severe Covid.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Who is considered vulnerable? If its by age like most states


Mar 4, 2021, 1:16 PM

then they will have a rise in #s.

The vulnerable i have seen are people who have one or more of the following: obesity, diabetes, COPD, asthma, autoimmune diseases of any kind, cancer, hypertension.

Age has definitely played a part in out patient population, but its the above that is the common denominator.

Maybe thats its just anecdotal. Not sure. But if im right, i'm sure that not many people in Tex and Mississippi have have any of those chronic conditions.

Genuinely, I hope it goes great. We all want this to conclude. ??

A government that arrested Drs speaking out about it in the early days, when it could have been contained. A government that shut down travel from Wuhan to other areas within China, but not from Wuhan to other countries. A government that delayed WHO investigators for over a year.

Having a pre-existing diagnosis doesn't mean that's what killed you when listing the cause of death. It is a contributing factor. Flu numbers are listed this way for years. You think only healthy people get the flu and die? But what pushed them to death was the contracting the flu.. its the listed cause of death in the setting of other chronic conditions.

Your point is understood, but there are some pretty well publicized instances of deaths being attributed to covid that should not have been. And it's widely known that hospitals received more funding for covid deaths than other causes.

Just as you can't say that covid caused the heart attack, you also can't say that covid didn't cause the heart attack. You don't know. So, what's the solution? Call it covid, get the funding.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Plain idiocy.


Mar 4, 2021, 2:17 PM

You don't even have a clue what you are talking about.

I mean, why would a hospital not diagnose every medicare/medicaid patient that walks through the door with stage 59 cancer and just go ahead and max out "funding"? They could have been doing that for DECADES.

Covid "funding" is for a) those on subsidized health care, and b) is in line with "funding" aka subsidies received for illnesses that require similar treatment.

If you think for 1 second that MASS FRAUD is happening you're stupid. Some fraud? Sure, as with anything else.

Also, it would be proper to consider that for death attributed to covid that shouldn't have been there likely was a death that was directly related to covid but not categorized as such based on testing not having been done.

The tangents this thread has taken are ridiculous. The point is, restrictions, lockdowns, and masks have done very little to curb the spread of covid. This is very obvious by simply comparing stats in “open” states and “closed” states.

Taking off your mask won’t open Clemson. I think the OP’s point is that restrictions should be lifted. We are at a point now where we know the impacts of covid, those as risk can protect themselves, and the rest of the world should get back to life.

The many, many impacts of the overreaction and mismanagement of governments the past 12 months are much more costly than the toll of the virus itself. We will be digging out of financial, social, physical, developmental, and educational holes for the next decade.

First, I'm not saying I agree with not wearing masks. I wear mine. I'm explaining the point of the OPs post, which is that businesses are bleeding out because of the restrictions. Those that would be consumers of those businesses are going to competitors because they are more comfortable there. So, no, taking off your mask does not solve the problem. Lifting restrictions does. Or, having consistent restrictions everywhere would also level the playing field.

Final thoughts on this ignorant debate


Mar 3, 2021, 11:08 PM

We are so ignorant!

.1% is the estimated death rate Annually for the flu (CDC)

.15% is the math currently for COVID-19 (CDC)

Many deaths are attributed to COVID-19 despite underlying issues (Gunny Google)

Do you PERSONALLY feel obligated to get your annual flu shot?

Do you PERSONALLY feel frightened to go out in public during flu season knowing the statistics and facts?

At risk people need to apply risk mitigation steps; everyone else... Let's lean into this freedom thing we tout and have migrants running towards.

Re: Final thoughts on this ignorant debate


Mar 3, 2021, 11:43 PM

I’m not sure of the death rates, but it’s beyond baffling to me that people are still trying to compare COVID to the flu.

In the 2017-2018 flu season there were 45 million confirmed flu cases in the US with an estimated 61,000 deaths.

So far we’ve had about 29.5 million confirmed cases of COVID in the US with an estimated total number of deaths of over 531,000.

So over 15 million fewer cases and nearly 500,000 more deaths...yep those two illnesses are exactly the same.

Yes, there are likely many more cases of COVID that haven’t been reported, but wouldn’t that be true for the flu as well?

As far as deaths with people with underlying issues, isn’t that also true of the flu?

There are millions of Americans who would qualify as having underlying issues if you consider age, cancer, diabetes, obesity, etc... it’s unrealistic to expect all of them to stay home and avoid all people. It’s definitely a lot harder for them all to do that than it is for some snowflakes to put on a freakin mask for the 30 minutes or so they happen to be in a store.

Or the restrictions from all over the world for COVID including less mass gatherings and travel have stopped the spread of the flu?

Let’s say though that you’re right and 100% of flu deaths have been documented as COVID deaths, we’d still be looking at nearly 500,000 deaths after subtracting the annual average of flu deaths from the overall total.

Mar 4, 2021, 2:02 AM

Should be we be wide open? I honestly don't know. At this point I lean yes, but I have no clue.

I am very perplexed by the need to STOP WEARING MASKS in your mind = reopening.

Shouldn't you just say, enough is enough, reopen! Then you have something.
This just lacks any logic at all.

Y'all, please wear your masks in confined spaces. Vaccines are on the way. Its close and I PROMISE you DO NOT want to draw the short stick with this thing.


Just spent 6 of my last 7 days, 12h shifts, taking care of a 77yo male marathon runner and a 37 yo in shape father, both intubated and have been in the ICU nice January. Old man will die in another month.
The young man is our first survivor of intubation post covid in dozens of patients. Overall are #s have finally plummeted. We arent overrun with new patients,, unfortunately most who required critical care didnt make it out alive.

STOP WEARING MASKS!


Mar 4, 2021, 8:04 AM

In January 2021 about 3000 people died every day due to Covid. Heart disease was second with roughly 2000 deaths per day and cancer was bringing up the rear with 1600 deaths per day.

Unless we had a big spike in heart and cancer deaths, Covid was also the #1 killer of Americans in February.

Unemployment was pegged at 6.3% in January-February which is not good, but it is lower than unemployment for the 6 years from late 2008 through 2014. Meanwhile nearly all economic forecasts are good for the near term and the market is near all time highs.

I wouldn't want the facts or any sense of responsibility to interfere with the desire of the many cult members who push for more people to join up with the Know Nothings and so stop wearing masks as soon as possible, refuse to get vaccinations and pronounce that everyone not in their herd are sheeple.

So by all means, you guys should stop wear masks.

I do wish younger folks could live their lives more - since they are very unlikely to even know they have it.

Mar 4, 2021, 9:11 AM

because I think people can do nearly everything they want to during COVID if they take the necessary precautions, which leads me to my next point: STOP SPREADING MISINFORMATION. COVID-19 is responsible for 14.1% of all deaths ages 65 and up since the pandemic began, and guess what happens when younger folks with that 99%+ survival rate catch COVID and don't wear a mask? They spread it to people 65+ who DON'T have that kind of survivability. So I suggest you stay in your lane and stop pretending to be an epidemiologist before you get someone hurt.

Go petition town hall to reopen, but do it while wearing a mask and encouraging others to do the same. You clearly haven't done any of your own scientific research into the efficacy of masks, and it shows. One video of a dark room, backlit particulate expulsion test and you'd change your tune. Just another sheep, following the words he wants to hear without even checking to see if they're true.
